A lot of current democrats pay a lot of attention to social issues which the democratic party is actually pretty good on but Wall Street doesn't give a fuck about gay marriage, minority issues and women's rights so they don't fund those battles. So there is an illusion that the current democratic party is independent of the powerful but when it comes to keeping the money flowing from the poor and middle class up to the 1%, the Democratic Party is just as much of an enabler as the Republican Party and totally bought off. How anyone can't understand this just fucking blows my mind. We have NO party looking out for labor and the middle class! ZERO! And those of us who want to wean ourselves off of Wall Street's nipple and put the party back to where it USE to be are called some kind of radical, grass roots movement. It just boggles my mind and really makes me feel hopeless that the party of FDR is nothing more than a moderate Republican Party about where Eisenhower was and the Republicans are off the charts, bat shit crazy!
